    Chief Military Judge Col Mario Dutil Charged

    Without knowing any details it's possible they pulled travel claims to verify the two individuals were in the same place on the same date and through that stumbled upon some discrepancies. Not saying that's what happened....just thinking out loud. Edit.....seems Puckchaser beat me to it on my...

    Report obtained by CTV News shows lack of confidence in military justice system

    I have provided numerous testimonies in summary, court martial, and civilian trials and can say that based on my experience charges that go to summary are foregone conclusions because the CoC decided that, not the evidence.  I can think of several examples I personally investigated, recommended...

    Report obtained by CTV News shows lack of confidence in military justice system

    The problem I have with your argument is you seem to believe the Code of Service Discipline supersedes the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.  None of us have given up our citizenship upon joining the CAF and to argue any of us should not be afforded the same rights as all other Canadians so that...

    Report obtained by CTV News shows lack of confidence in military justice system

    So I guess my counter question to you would be this.  If you or someone you loved was sent to prison for 25 years because a panel decided you (or they) "most likely" murdered someone, you'd be ok with that decision and accept your punishment even though nothing was actually proven beyond the...

    Report obtained by CTV News shows lack of confidence in military justice system

    So if I'm reading this correctly something like a murder with a military nexus should be handled via court martial and someone's freedom for 25 years should be decided by majority rather than beyond reasonable doubt? Not trying to come off as confrontational, just looking to clarify if that's...

    HMCS ATHABASKAN crewmember charged with drug/weapon offences, 11 Aug 16

    I've seen members sentenced to civilian jails for drug offences due to rehabilitation programs available in those institutions that are unavailable in Edmonton.  Whether this is the case here I don't know.

    Without a diploma in police foundations or equivalent from an accredited college your options for becoming an MP are either join the armoured corps and after a few years apply for an occupational transfer to MP if you can.  You can also get a college diploma in police foundations or equivalent...

    The Military Police [MP] Superthread

    The CFRC may give you an option not to have your current employer called for a reference check but the MPs do not. Every MP applicant who moves on to the background check phase has a thorough background done and your current and previous employers WILL be contacted.  No exceptions.

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    Being that this is an open forum I'm not going to cite specific examples.....but being that you're a member of the branch......you've seen it like the rest of us.........whether you want to admit it or not

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    It's easy to blame RMP etc. however the sad reality is until NIS admits they aren't as good as they think they are, and take steps to rectify deficiencies, files such as sex assaults etc. will constantly be plead down because it's the RMPs only option based on the quality of file presented to...

    Armoured Crewman Weapons

    While admittedly I've been out of the armoured corps for more than a couple years now......I can share with you what we used when we deployed to Afghanistan as a recce sqn...... -Crew commanders and drivers were issued browning pistols. -All crew members had a C8 with the surveillance operators...

    MP struggle to enforce mental health laws

    Group orders are not law. From what I understand the only province to have a real big change was Alberta.  In Ontario the way around was simple....you detain the person for their safety and keep them detained until the local police sign a piece of paper to make it official. Not sure what all...

    Sweeping changes to Impaired Driving Laws

    Just to be clear.......you are aware we can demand an ASD already without reasonable grounds to believe you're impaired right?  Reasonable suspicion and reasonable grounds are two very different things and suspicion is all that is required for an ASD demand whereas reasonable grounds are what's...

    MP work on CF Bases and Wings

    I worked patrols at one of the busiest bases in Canada for MP's.  Some days I was busy......some I wasn't. Keep in mind however that even busy bases are still just small towns and therefore it's small town policing and small town call volumes.  If you're hoping for city police call volume and...

    Sweeping changes to Impaired Driving Laws

    This won't really change much (at least here in Ontario) when it comes to stopping vehicles. Under the Highway Traffic Act, police in Ontario can stop you to verify 4 things regardless of whether or not a violation of the act has occurred: -The driver has a valid drivers licence -The vehicle...

    Is Infantry just for grunts and is armoured only for vehicle enthusiasts?

    Granted it's been some years since I was in the armoured corps....but I doubt things have changed to the point where the vehicles drive and manoeuvre themselves.  What I'm getting at is that while yes, the "giant machines" are the biggest part of the armoured corps, you will be using your body...

    VAdm Norman - Supply Ship contract: Legal fight

    In my experience during my time as an MP, the trade is incapable of conducting proper unbiased investigations on senior ranks.  Unfourtunately rank very much influences how investigations are completed and the trade (without even realizing it most of the time) allows outside interference because...

    Fed Ct: "Alberta soldier denied promotion due to PTSD should have case reviewed"

    I'd wager it's probably more a matter of principle.
